9 Insane Movie Team-Ups That Nearly Happened

9. Double V Vega

If Tarantino had a penny for every potential project he’s mentioned over the years that he didn't make, then he’d amassed quite a lot of pennies. He’s talked about everything from Kill Bill: Vol 3 to helming a Halloween movie, and more often than not they all quietly die out. One of these concepts was to team Pulp Fiction’s Vincent Vega and Reservoir Dogs Vic Vega (aka Mr Blonde), who were brothers in Tarantino’s movie-verse.

Tarantino had the working title Double V Vega and a couple of story ideas, both of which would get around the issue of the brothers being dead. One was a prequel featuring Vincent running a club for Marcellus in Amsterdam, with his trouble making brother coming to pay a visit. The sequel concept was even wackier and would reveal both dead brothers had twins, who are released from prison and come to seek revenge for their brother’s deaths.

Tarantino never seemed all that serious about making the movie though, so a script was never written. Time wore on and both John Travolta and Michael Madsen got a bit too old to play the characters, so the movie joined a long line of abandoned Tarantino ideas.
